Hi, my spouse has received an extension of her open work permit and now we have to apply for a TRV extension. There is a question in the questionnaire - "What does your family member want to do in Canada?" Options: 1. Apply for or extend an open work permit 2. Stay as a visitor. I am thinking I select option 1 as it is more apt, but can you share your views? Ideally, the option should say "Work" but there's no such option.

I'm applying for my Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) along with my husband. I have a question regarding the application. My husband has an Open Work Permit valid until March 2025 (got 18 months extension), while my study permit expires on November 30th this year. In the application, there's a question that asks, "Do you want to submit an application for a family member?" Should I answer "YES" or "NO" to this question?
Hello. Your husband’s open work permit should follow your expiry. I wonder why his is longer than yours. You can select “Yes” if you want to include him to your extension. “No” if you want to leave his expiry as is (2025)
@ SimplyLuz can I ask you, I have a part time job in Teer 4 and that’s the job I was doing during my studies can I use same job offer letter and apply for my PGWP and my husband OWP extension and my son study permit? I am on this stage now . Please I need your assistance
@@ihekennenna3113 Hello. When we applied, students needed a job under TEER 0-3 to extend their dependents. This changed last year, but I’m not sure if it’s still in effect. I've also heard of students taking jobs under TEER 0-3 to reduce the risk of their dependents being refused.
Hello, Thank you for the video. Question: what if i am already in canada on PGWP and got married recently in home country and now want to apply for spouse work permit for my spouse, i work in teer 1. so, is it the same process? but there is an option to select what is your current status in canada but spouse is not in canada and have no status here yet.
Hi, Luz. Thank you very much for this very informative video. I just have a question. I will be coming to Canada as an IS this September and since IRCC made a new announcement re OWP for IS, my spouse can't come with me (I'm also not taking up Masteral or Doctoral programs). My question is after I graduate, can I still apply a SOWP for my spouse together with my PGWP application even if she's still in the Philippines?
Hi. You have a very interesting question. Ircc hasn’t announced any restrictions for PGWP holders in sponsoring spouses. I would assume that you can apply for your SOWP but it’s better to consult an immigration lawyer or consultant to be sure.
Thank you mam, this is very helpful. I just have a question on the “do you have a written job offer?” Part, i have job right now does that mean that I should also answer yes, but don’t have a letter from employer. Thank you mam
Hi! Thanks for another excellent video! My partner finishes his program next year in April 2024. We are renewing our permits now, and on April 2024 he will apply for the PGWP. My question is, if the current renewal is given to us until July 2024, but his classes end in April 2024, does that mean that I, with an OWP as his dependent, should also stop working? Even if my OWP is technically valid until July 2024?. Thanks!!!!!!
Where can I check the requirements for employment that affect the SOWP? I am looking on Canada's website without success, everything focuses on the student but not on the spouse. Thanks anyway, this was a lot of help.
Hi Ms. Luz, I have a spouse but I will not be able to include him yet in my PGWP application as I don't have a job yet. After my application as SOWP and have a job, how can I include him to my application for extension? Thank you.
This Video of yours is very enlightening and clear. Thank you so much. 💖💖 I have a question. In your video you've mentioned that you provided your "job offer" and the "employment certificate". Under which section we have to upload these documents? And did you do the same for your husband as well? I will be really appreciate your response to this. 😊
Hi luz, Thank you for your wonderful video. I have a situation here. I will be completing my studies on December 31, 2023. And, I am going to apply for PGWP Jan 2024. However, my spouse has an extended SOWP valid until September 2024. Do I also need to apply for the SOWP extension in January 2024? Or could I apply for a SOWP extension later, taking September 2024 into consideration? Please let me know your insights.
Hi! Can i start answering the questionnaire even if I'm still studying? And when should I stop working part-time? my last day of class will be on August 16 this year.
Thank you so much for this video!, it was explained perfectly. Question: I will finish the college in April, but I want to renew my passport next week,. The new passport will arrive after I finish the college. Can my spouse still work? Can my daughter still go to the public school? (my husban's work permit and daughter's study permit expire in June).
Thank you Mrs. Luz, the video is very useful, I have a question regarding the yes or no question of "Is your work an essential part of your studies( for example, a Co-op or ...)" i am in a program with Co-op, but currently i have finished my co-op placement, and I am starting applying for my PGWP, so i am confused whether I should click yes, or no, would you please kindly advise? thank you very much.
Hi Luz, My study permit is going to expire on April 30th. I have already applied for an extension along with my wife's SOWP extension on January 27th. It's been around 3 months, and I am still waiting for an update on the extension. My course was completed a week ago, and I am waiting for the final grades. I have a question: If I can somehow arrange the course completion letter and transcript from my university before April 30th, can I apply alone for a PGWP with my existing study permit since I have already applied for an extension? Will it affect my spouse's existing SOWP extension application? Thank you for your assistance.
Hello, your situation is quite unique, and unfortunately, I don't have a specific answer for you. It would be best to directly contact IRCC as they can provide expert assistance. In the past, I've found it helpful to reach out to them for my study permit extensions. Best of luck!
Hi In my scenario I have already received my pgwp. Now I have to apply for my husband work permit extension. So which gc key should I use his own gc key or mine???
@@jilianabraham5341 Hi. You can apply without a job offer (for the student). However, your owp application might get refused. I know some people who don’t have a job as student who applied together with owp and owp visa got refused. It’s up to you if you want to take that risk.
@@SimplyLuz thanks for the clarification. Do you know if only a job offer letter is ok for a future job (new job) or should we provide the pay stubs as well ?
Thank you so much for the information, I have a question if I am currently a Co-op student and want to apply for a PGWP at the end of co-op term. Firstly, Can I continue to work at the company without any break? Second, I just have to say YES in the field "Is your work essential part of your studies"? and Lastly, Can I submit the job offer letter which I received at the start of the coop (Because in my case I received the full time offer at the time of coop)?
I think the "stop working" issue is a different interpretation of rules from different people since there is no law that states that, it makes no sense to have a valid permit until X date and stop working in X-1
Hi, I'm in kind of same situation. I am doing my coop but part time, and this company will provide me a job offer to a full time position... Should I add the employment letter since I'll be employed till the date I apply (Receive my completion letter) and in addition my job offer as well for a full time position in the same company..? How did you manage to do yours? Thank you , I'd appreciate your answer!
Hello, Ms. Luz. I am back with a follow-up question. I am about to apply for my PGWP today, and I am stuck on the question, "Do you want to submit an application for a family member?" I am not applying for an SOWP extension for now as I am still applying for a full-time job. Must I say yes or no to this question?I hope you can assist. Thanks a lot!
@@talk2iykip488 I believe there is a question in the application if you applied for PR prior to PGWP, you can just answer Yes to that question. I don’t think there’s an issue with that.
Thank you for such an informative video...As per the current scenario, combined application approval timeline is more than 5 months...so I am planning to apply for my PGWP first and once the same is approved, I am planning to apply to extend the OWP of my wife. But, in such case, do I need to create a separate GCkey account or I can do it using the same GCkey account which we used for filing our study and open work permits? Thanks in advance.
@@SimplyLuz Thank you for your prompt response. Also, can you please tell me in your opinion, which is the best option, apply together for PGWP + SOWP or apply for PGWP first and SOWP later once the PGWP is approved?
Hi dear, thank you for informative video. I have a question. Regarding job letter and pay stubs of main applicant. Is it mandatory to show when applying sowp extension. As i got mine pgwp but right know i don't have a job. And i want to apply for my spouse work permit extension and his work permit expires on 31 dec. I am so worried about it. Can you please tell me if my spouse apply his work permit extension without having my job proofs. Will it affect the visa processing. Please reply me
After entering your spouse's details, the website will ask if you have another dependent. Just select yes, and you'll be taken to a page to add their information.
@@KyrieMoon pwede mo naman sya skip for now. Then if may work kana, saka mo sya extend. Make sure po na magapply na kayo for your spouse before magexpire existing permit nya.

Hi, i found this vedio as very useful and i want to ask few query - For spouse do we need to submit passport, digital photo and proof of funds I didn’t saw any space where these can be uploaded. Can you please give me a clarity into this ?
Hi Luz. Thanks a lot for the video. I'm going to be finishing my program soon (December 2023) , and I was very confused about the process. I have a question for you. Once you apply for the PGWP, I know that you received a document, not the official one, that you can show to your employer and continue working. For the spouse is the same, does he need to show that paper and continue working? How does it work for them? P.S. I sent you an IG request hoping you can answer me.
Yes, once you submit your application, you will receive a document that can show that you’re allowed to work. Your spouse will also receive one provided you include your spouse in the application.
Thank you so much for the informative video. I’m working as a customer experience associate (teer 4), and my husband has an open work permit. I’m going to graduate this December. Our visas and permits expire on March 31, 2024. My question is, can we both apply together, or do I have to apply for pgwp first and he applies for OWP extension after? My position is part time, will that qualify? Looking forward to your suggestion.

Hi, should I raise a webform to add my paystubs after applying for PGWP + OWP(for my partner)?
@@quynguyen9137 hi. Yes you can raise a webform.
I did attach paystubs when I applied, so now I need to webform for additional paystubs? Thank you very much, Luz.
Thank you for this very informative tutorial video but i have a question which list of documents are required to upload for the spouse? Can you please help me out for this? Thank you
@@kartikpatel6276 hi. Please send a message on my social media accounts.
Do you have the link where it is mentioned that owp can be extended even if SP work falls teer 4 or 5? Just for reference only…
Hello. You can check this link po:

Hi, if I do not have an offer letter I can able to apply and get PGWP or I am not valid to get one for myself and my spouse
I'm applying for my Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) along with my husband. I have a question regarding the application. My husband has an Open Work Permit valid until March 2025 (got 18 months extension), while my study permit expires on November 30th this year. In the application, there's a question that asks, "Do you want to submit an application for a family member?" Should I answer "YES" or "NO" to this question?
Hello. Your husband’s open work permit should follow your expiry. I wonder why his is longer than yours.
You can select “Yes” if you want to include him to your extension. “No” if you want to leave his expiry as is (2025)
Hi. For the employment records, would it be the records of the student or the OWP?
Great video by the way. Thank you so much for this.

@ SimplyLuz can I ask you, I have a part time job in Teer 4 and that’s the job I was doing during my studies can I use same job offer letter and apply for my PGWP and my husband OWP extension and my son study permit?
I am on this stage now . Please I need your assistance
@@ihekennenna3113 Hello. When we applied, students needed a job under TEER 0-3 to extend their dependents. This changed last year, but I’m not sure if it’s still in effect. I've also heard of students taking jobs under TEER 0-3 to reduce the risk of their dependents being refused.
Hello is it need to be full time or part time job for sowp extension?
please am i to upload only my digital photo or digital photo of my family?
Hello,
Thank you for the video. Question: what if i am already in canada on PGWP and got married recently in home country and now want to apply for spouse work permit for my spouse, i work in teer 1.
so, is it the same process? but there is an option to select what is your current status in canada but spouse is not in canada and have no status here yet.
Excellent tutorial!
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi..just want to ask if the current work is admin in a hospital, do I need to submit medical examination?
@@jaidenoabel hi. If you’re not dealing directly with patients and the public, I don’t think you need a medical exam.
@Simply Luz does OWP needs job offer get owp extension with PGWP application ? and does pgwp applicant can apply with teer 4 job offer?
Hi, Luz. Thank you very much for this very informative video. I just have a question. I will be coming to Canada as an IS this September and since IRCC made a new announcement re OWP for IS, my spouse can't come with me (I'm also not taking up Masteral or Doctoral programs). My question is after I graduate, can I still apply a SOWP for my spouse together with my PGWP application even if she's still in the Philippines?
Hi. You have a very interesting question. Ircc hasn’t announced any restrictions for PGWP holders in sponsoring spouses. I would assume that you can apply for your SOWP but it’s better to consult an immigration lawyer or consultant to be sure.
Thank you mam, this is very helpful. I just have a question on the “do you have a written job offer?” Part, i have job right now does that mean that I should also answer yes, but don’t have a letter from employer. Thank you mam
Hello. I answered “yes” to this question and I provided the job offer from my current employer. Did you sign an offer before you start working?
Hi, Should I include my letter of employment? Or do I need a job offer letter? Are those different things. Please let me know. Thank you
Hi! Thanks for another excellent video! My partner finishes his program next year in April 2024. We are renewing our permits now, and on April 2024 he will apply for the PGWP. My question is, if the current renewal is given to us until July 2024, but his classes end in April 2024, does that mean that I, with an OWP as his dependent, should also stop working? Even if my OWP is technically valid until July 2024?. Thanks!!!!!!
PGWP question: Should OWP stop working if Student receives Completion letter and TOR?
Where can I check the requirements for employment that affect the SOWP? I am looking on Canada's website without success, everything focuses on the student but not on the spouse. Thanks anyway, this was a lot of help.
Hello, mine is the same case with only the difference of Common-law apart from marriage. Would you happen to have any suggestions for the same?
Hi Ms. Luz, I have a spouse but I will not be able to include him yet in my PGWP application as I don't have a job yet. After my application as SOWP and have a job, how can I include him to my application for extension? Thank you.
Hi. He will need to apply on his own SOWP extension.
Ohh. Is it with his own gckey account or is it possible to be in my gckey account?
@@AngeliqueLlorente-xv5dt you can use either account. 🙂
Is it true that if the SP holder got no jobs but already graduate. the OWP can not extend his paper? Thank you.
@@nicooooo1991 hi. That was the policy when I applied for my PGWP last year. I am not sure though if the policy has changed.
hi, did you make a new account for applying pgwp? or did you use the account when you applied for study permit?
Hi. I used the same gckey account.
This Video of yours is very enlightening and clear. Thank you so much. 💖💖
I have a question. In your video you've mentioned that you provided your "job offer" and the "employment certificate". Under which section we have to upload these documents? And did you do the same for your husband as well? I will be really appreciate your response to this. 😊
@@Sithu_95 Hello, I uploaded it in the client information section. My husband didn't submit his-it's just for me.
Hi luz,
Thank you for your wonderful video.
I have a situation here. I will be completing my studies on December 31, 2023. And, I am going to apply for PGWP Jan 2024. However, my spouse has an extended SOWP valid until September 2024. Do I also need to apply for the SOWP extension in January 2024? Or could I apply for a SOWP extension later, taking September 2024 into consideration?
Please let me know your insights.
Pgwp question
Hi! Can i start answering the questionnaire even if I'm still studying? And when should I stop working part-time? my last day of class will be on August 16 this year.
Thank you so much for this video!, it was explained perfectly. Question: I will finish the college in April, but I want to renew my passport next week,. The new passport will arrive after I finish the college. Can my spouse still work? Can my daughter still go to the public school? (my husban's work permit and daughter's study permit expire in June).
Thanks a lot . Very informative.
Best channel ever
Thanks 😊
really really helpful…thank you
Thank you Mrs. Luz, the video is very useful, I have a question regarding the yes or no question of "Is your work an essential part of your studies( for example, a Co-op or ...)" i am in a program with Co-op, but currently i have finished my co-op placement, and I am starting applying for my PGWP, so i am confused whether I should click yes, or no, would you please kindly advise? thank you very much.
Hi. It should be no since you’re now applying for PGWP and not COOP.
Hi Luz, My study permit is going to expire on April 30th. I have already applied for an extension along with my wife's SOWP extension on January 27th. It's been around 3 months, and I am still waiting for an update on the extension. My course was completed a week ago, and I am waiting for the final grades. I have a question: If I can somehow arrange the course completion letter and transcript from my university before April 30th, can I apply alone for a PGWP with my existing study permit since I have already applied for an extension? Will it affect my spouse's existing SOWP extension application? Thank you for your assistance.
Hello, your situation is quite unique, and unfortunately, I don't have a specific answer for you. It would be best to directly contact IRCC as they can provide expert assistance. In the past, I've found it helpful to reach out to them for my study permit extensions. Best of luck!
@@SimplyLuz Thank you..I'll do that :)
Very helpful thanks a lot... more power to you.❤
Thank you for your support 🙂
Shouod i wait yo get my pgwp before applyinh gor spousal open work permit, or it came be done simultaneously?
You can do it at the same time.
Hi
In my scenario I have already received my pgwp.
Now I have to apply for my husband work permit extension.
So which gc key should I use his own gc key or mine???
Hello, when do we stop working? Final grades in the portal or completion
letter? Thank you
Thank you!!
@@jahangirshaikh7233 you’re welcome 🙂
Did you attach your job offer and payslips into the contact info? What about your spouse?
Can’t we apply for PGWP and dependent OWP without a job offer to the student ? What’s the process to apply if the student doesn’t have a job yet ?
@@jilianabraham5341 Hi. You can apply without a job offer (for the student). However, your owp application might get refused. I know some people who don’t have a job as student who applied together with owp and owp visa got refused. It’s up to you if you want to take that risk.
@@SimplyLuz thanks for the clarification. Do you know if only a job offer letter is ok for a future job (new job) or should we provide the pay stubs as well ?
@@jilianabraham5341 hello. I’m sure that the student need paystubs with the job offer.
I have a question that I got the extend for my study permit after I applied, but my spouse didn't has it. Is it make sense?
Hi. Do you mean your spouse got the refusal?
Thank you so much for the information, I have a question if I am currently a Co-op student and want to apply for a PGWP at the end of co-op term. Firstly, Can I continue to work at the company without any break? Second, I just have to say YES in the field "Is your work essential part of your studies"? and Lastly, Can I submit the job offer letter which I received at the start of the coop (Because in my case I received the full time offer at the time of coop)?
I think the "stop working" issue is a different interpretation of rules from different people since there is no law that states that, it makes no sense to have a valid permit until X date and stop working in X-1
Hi, I'm in kind of same situation. I am doing my coop but part time, and this company will provide me a job offer to a full time position... Should I add the employment letter since I'll be employed till the date I apply (Receive my completion letter) and in addition my job offer as well for a full time position in the same company..? How did you manage to do yours? Thank you , I'd appreciate your answer!
Hi Ms. Luz, It doesn’t matter if your job is part time or full time for international student? Thank you
Part time or full time job for PGWP application to extend spouse? #internationalstudentscanada
If I can upload the employment letter and pay slips, then what letter or email for SOWP we will receive? How long can we receive? Thanks
You will receive a letter of authorization to work while waiting for your approval. You will receive that immediately after submission.
Hello, Ms. Luz. I am back with a follow-up question. I am about to apply for my PGWP today, and I am stuck on the question, "Do you want to submit an application for a family member?" I am not applying for an SOWP extension for now as I am still applying for a full-time job. Must I say yes or no to this question?I hope you can assist. Thanks a lot!
Hi. You can select no if you’re not including him in your application.
Does it have any effect If you have submitted a PR application before PGWP? PR app was submitted after completion of study.
@@talk2iykip488 I believe there is a question in the application if you applied for PR prior to PGWP, you can just answer Yes to that question. I don’t think there’s an issue with that.
@@SimplyLuz No, the question is applicable to people that are already invited to apply PR. I don't think it's a big deal thoo
HeyLuz,
Thank you so much for this video.
My question is how much fund do we need to show.
Does is has to be 13757$ or we can show less than that ?
Proof of funds for PGWP question. #internationalstudentscanada
Hi, what if I don’t have OWP but I have a child with me? She’s studying here as Grade 1. How much will I pay and how was the application?
Hi. The application process is the same, you just need to change the relationship to child instead of spouse.
Hello, if student doesnt have a full time or part time now can i still apply together for pgwp , sowp nd kid visa ?
@@swathi1518 hi. Your kid will be approved but sowp will now be refused if student don’t have full time or part time teer 0-3.
Thank you for such an informative video...As per the current scenario, combined application approval timeline is more than 5 months...so I am planning to apply for my PGWP first and once the same is approved, I am planning to apply to extend the OWP of my wife. But, in such case, do I need to create a separate GCkey account or I can do it using the same GCkey account which we used for filing our study and open work permits? Thanks in advance.
Hi. You can use the same gckey for all your applications.
@@SimplyLuz Thank you for your prompt response. Also, can you please tell me in your opinion, which is the best option, apply together for PGWP + SOWP or apply for PGWP first and SOWP later once the PGWP is approved?
@@vyshakhharidas3770 i would choose the first option. That’s what we did and it worked out well for us.
@@SimplyLuz Thank you for your response.
Hi dear, thank you for informative video. I have a question. Regarding job letter and pay stubs of main applicant. Is it mandatory to show when applying sowp extension. As i got mine pgwp but right know i don't have a job. And i want to apply for my spouse work permit extension and his work permit expires on 31 dec. I am so worried about it. Can you please tell me if my spouse apply his work permit extension without having my job proofs. Will it affect the visa processing. Please reply me
Is it mandatory for SP to have a job to extend SOWP in PGWP application?
How about if we have kids? How do we add the to the application?
After entering your spouse's details, the website will ask if you have another dependent. Just select yes, and you'll be taken to a page to add their information.
Thank you so much for your reply! ❤️ what if di pa po ma sabay si hubby? Wala pa po kasi akong work.
@@KyrieMoon pwede mo naman sya skip for now. Then if may work kana, saka mo sya extend. Make sure po na magapply na kayo for your spouse before magexpire existing permit nya.
Thank you po so much!
Hi, thank you so much for your informative video. I am planning to fill the form tomorrow, i used to work on campus and will be working on campus in future too, when I click “Yes” when asked if you will work on campus in future, i didnt get any option for PGWP. Should i click NO even if i am working On campus ?
Hi, i found this vedio as very useful and i want to ask few query - For spouse do we need to submit passport, digital photo and proof of funds I didn’t saw any space where these can be uploaded. Can you please give me a clarity into this ?
Hi Luz. Thanks a lot for the video. I'm going to be finishing my program soon (December 2023) , and I was very confused about the process. I have a question for you. Once you apply for the PGWP, I know that you received a document, not the official one, that you can show to your employer and continue working. For the spouse is the same, does he need to show that paper and continue working? How does it work for them? P.S. I sent you an IG request hoping you can answer me.
Hello. Congratulations on your upcoming graduation.
Yes, once you submit your application, you will receive a document that can show that you’re allowed to work. Your spouse will also receive one provided you include your spouse in the application.
My husband got his letter after we submitted my PGWP application and his OWP extension..
Perfect! Thanks so much for the information! All the best!
Thank you so much for the informative video. I’m working as a customer experience associate (teer 4), and my husband has an open work permit. I’m going to graduate this December. Our visas and permits expire on March 31, 2024.
My question is, can we both apply together, or do I have to apply for pgwp first and he applies for OWP extension after?
My position is part time, will that qualify?
Looking forward to your suggestion.
Hello. Yes, you can apply together and it’s ok if you’re working part time. I was also part time when I applied and we got approved.
@@SimplyLuz thank you so much! This was very helpful 😊
